    I have a white leghorn that has an internal egg.

    Or maybe you are trying to tell me it’s a lash egg/tumor and nothing can be done? I didn’t know chickens could live that long with lash egg complications but I read they can sometimes live up to 6 months. If there’s nothing that can be done that’s fine. I just wanted to try if it were...

    I have a white leghorn that has an internal egg.

    Oh ok. Wouldn’t she have to be pooping if it’s been over 2 weeks? Probably 3? I went on vacation for a week after I found this problem and I have already been back for a week. I didn’t think she’d be alive when I got back. And she’s acting fine besides standing and walking a little...

    I have a white leghorn that has an internal egg.

    We have 4 or 5 white leghorns between 2-5 years old. They are molting right now so I wouldn’t know for sure if she is laying, but I doubt it. Like I said it’s been weeks and she’d be dead if she wasn’t eating, drinking and pooping. I have had others lay lash eggs. This does not feel the same...

    I have a white leghorn that has an internal egg.

    It’s been weeks since I noticed my chicken was walking funny. I’m almost positive she has an egg inside her with the shell on it. I assumed she would break it and die but she hasn’t. At this point I feel like she is healthy enough that I should do something about it but I’m not comfortable...

    HELP!!! Swollen chicken eye about to burst?

    I would say it was firm but still squishy. Kind of like a hallow rubber band. I was surprised when I saw it. What you just said was exactly what I said when it came out. I believe something got in through his eye and his body incased it to protect itself.

    HELP!!! Swollen chicken eye about to burst?

    So I had to cull him today. It just wasn’t getting any better. I cut into the area and this is what I got. Anyone know what this is? I’m guessing some kind of tumor but I don’t know. The last picture I cut the piece open. @Eggcessive @ChickenScratchFeathers @pwand @Seaslug @OrpingtonManiac...

    HELP!!! Swollen chicken eye about to burst?

    His eyeball looks healthy. It was so much blood! It was pouring out on to the floor, coming out of his mouth and his nose. We’ve also found blood clots and lots of mucus in his mouth. I don’t have any idea what this is and we are starting to think about culling him. He is a Bresse and a...

    HELP!!! Swollen chicken eye about to burst?

    I’ve been injecting Tylan into the tissue around his eye. I noticed tonight that the roof of his mouth is swollen too.

    HELP!!! Swollen chicken eye about to burst?

    No the eye won’t open but a tiny crack. Just enough to put antibiotic drops in it. I’ve tried using hot compresses to soften it up and still nothing.
